As one of the biggest corporations in the world, WWE values its social responsibility. Hence, it doesn’t only produce entertaining events for the fans but also works towards contributing to and growing the community. WWE’s Chief Branding Officer, Stephanie McMahon, recently gave a glimpse into the same.
In a video released by WWE’s YouTube channel, Stephanie McMahon and Titus O’Neil were seen with various members of the community. She revealed the various initiatives the company has taken on during the last year, which was quite difficult for almost everyone across the globe.
She highlighted the company’s efforts in donating to schools, awarding community heroes, and providing equipment to special Olympics among others.

WWE’s Tribute to the Troops is one of the most highlighted events of the year as the company honors US soldiers for their selfless service.
In this event, the Superstars perform for the troops to provide top-notch entertainment to the soldiers and their families. Even during the pandemic, the company ensured to go through with the event.
The screens all over the ThunderDome had soldiers and their families watching the matches and cheering for their favorite Superstars!
Another great effort by WWE and its Superstars is the participation in Make a Wish programs. The Superstars visit children in hospitals, and the company provides a helping hand in making these wishes come true.
The Chief Branding Officer of WWE is the driving force behind the company’s community initiatives, and she strongly believes in giving back to the community.
Furthermore, Stephanie has also given crucial insights to the in-ring side of WWE’s work. She ensures that the Women’s division keeps getting the deserved spotlight after pioneering the game-changing women’s revolution.

Stephanie McMahon is the driving force for Women’s wrestling
She joined the company when the industry was male-dominated. Hence, she worked to create a space where women could compete in the same ring and reach similar heights as their male colleagues.
In one of the first steps aimed at putting women and men on a similar footing, WWE announced that all pro-wrestlers working with the company will be known as Superstars. Hence, the regressive ‘Diva’ nomenclature was done away with.
